In the quarter ending October 31, 2008, TiVo's total subscribers fell to 3.46 million, approximately the same level they had in Spring, 2005. As we've covered before, TiVo may have a valuable intellectual property portfolio, but its hardware selling business is over. For the most recent quarter, it sold fewer than 500 TiVo DVRs a day.
